Update, November 8th: Fans noticed that a woman’s voice was faint in the background of the clip that they couldn’t hear. Hours after posting the teaser, a fan decoded the background audio to reveal the conversation between what sounded like Liara and Geth. BioWare acknowledged this breakthrough by releasing a new clip version with clear audio. You can hear it in the tweet below.
Original story: November 7 is Day 7 for Mass Effect fans, which means all eyes are on BioWare in the hopes it will reveal any information about the upcoming Mass Effect sequel. next. So far, the developer has responded to that demand by releasing a brief introductory video that contains hints of what’s to come.
According to BioWare, fans should examine the 25-second clip “a little more closely” as it appears to be filled with clues. One tweet provided a link to download the video, although you can watch it above. It features what appears to be a series relay under construction.

You’ll notice that the numbers at the bottom change as the camera zooms, similar to a video timer. You can spot some large ships floating nearby, but the one that stands out is the smaller one with the blue engine running across the bottom right near the “MR 7” decal. Some fans have theorized that it is the ship that appeared last year N7 Day teaser; others have suggested that it is Stormy from Mass Effect: Andromeda. There is also the question of the planet the relay orbits.
